Hypnotherapy will not make you skinny

It’s the New Year. Maybe you’ve made a resolution to have a health kick, to take up the latest diet plan or maybe it’s the not so subtle advertising making you feel fat. Sorry to break it to you but Hypnotherapy will not make you skinny.

Controversial coming from a Hypnotherapist! I do not have a magic wand and I will not make you drop two dress sizes in 2 weeks and anything that promises you that it can do that is probably a load of rubbish and/or not very unhealthy for you. Fad diets, quick fixes and anything vaguely unrealistic is not for me. I believe in creating healthy long-term habits, moving your body, having a balanced diet but also living your life!

That belief underpins my “This is not a diet” Weight Loss Program. My approach supports you to realign your negative eating habits and redefine your relationship with food and exercise. You will enjoy a slow and steady weight loss of around 2lbs per week, the difference being that this will be a permanent weight loss compared to yo-yo dieting for example.

I will help you to understand your current thoughts and habits by identifying the reasons why you overeat, for example:

– You eat to reward yourself
– You eat to lessen an unpleasant experience
– You eat because you want to be noticed
– You eat when you need love
– You eat because you are afraid

I will then develop your own bespoke plan to create new healthy habits because I don’t need to tell you what a healthy balanced diet looks like you already know that. What I have found the biggest influence in this program is supporting individuals to improve their self-esteem. With improved self-worth my clients actually want to make the changes and create the healthiest life possible for themselves.

PTSD – Post-traumatic stress disorder

PTSD – Post-traumatic stress disorder: I utilise EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) to support clients with Post Traumatic Stress. When a trauma occurs it can get locked into the nervous system with the original picture, feelings, thoughts, sounds and sensation of the event. Because it is locked in it continues to be triggered whenever a reminder comes up. This can cause a lot of discomfort and negative emotions that we seem to have very little control over. This discomfort is really the emotions connected with the old experience that is being triggered.

EMDR is an 8 step process that helps clients to heal themselves. As a sufferer of PTSD you already have the information you need to resolve the problem however often the link between the experience of the trauma and the resolution is broken. The process of EMDR then links this together, therefore the client is in total control and creating their own healing.

There are some circumstances that EMDR is not the appropriate therapy option therefore this will be discussed during your initial consultation.

Sleep

Sleep: Do you struggle to fall asleep at night, tossing and turning, worrying about the future ongoing over the past causing you to feel tired and drained the next day?

There are number of factors that can cause poor sleep, my sleep program will help to examine your current sleep patterns, your environment and physical state and your internal dialogue surrounding sleep. I will then support you to create physical relaxation, permission to rest while awake, to replace negative thinking patterns with positive patterns surrounding sleep and to create a healthy bedtime routine.

I have personally used my sleep program to improve my sleep after years of insomnia. I understand the detrimental effect that insomnia and poor sleep can have on your mental well-being, productivity and focus. My approach is proven to get you back into routine of resting in the land of nod.

Phobias

Not all fear is harmful in fact there are many fears that are useful as they keep us safe in our day-to-day lives. A phobia is an irrational fear that can cause stress, anxiety, panic attacks, it can cause people to make their lives more difficult for themselves to avoid certain triggers, it may effect their relationships or even feel like it is holding them back. Examples of phobias include:

Hypnotherapy can support you to overcome a phobia by unlocking the stress, experiences, negative programming or trauma around a phobia. I will then use a variety of techniques to break those connections and then reprogram your subconscious using positive suggestions. You are then able to carry out your life how you wish without an irrational fear holding you back.

Anxiety: We have an inbuilt system designed to protect us from danger known as the ‘fight or flight’ response. When our brain perceives a threat our sympathetic nervous system kicks in flooding our body with adrenaline so that we can prepare to protect ourselves. Blood goes to our limbs and away from our digestive and reproductive system, our breathing gets quicker and our heart pumps faster to get that oxygen to where we need it, to either make a dash for it or fight our way out of perceived danger. Which is great if you are in danger but not so good if you are sat worrying about a presentation you need to do!

When we are in an anxious state our internal dialogue can really ramp up. We often make unrealistic self-statements, we can be unkind to ourselves and start to make predictions about possible negative outcomes. Not only does our thinking get loud but we can also start to fear the reaction we feel in our body. We start to reject the feelings and try to avoid anything that feels similar to this anxious reaction such as excitement trying to numb ourselves.

Long-term anxiety can lead us to avoid situations, environments or people that evokes the anxiety response. Anxiety can take a hold and restrict us from living the life we want and deserve.

How hypnotherapy can help?

I will support you to return to your calm default. I start with physical relaxation and then help you to calm the mind turning the volume down on the internal chatter. I then use positive suggestion to support you to:

4-6 sessions are recommended to overcome anxiety. I will also arm you with a toolbox of techniques that are easy to use in your everyday life to encourage you to be calm and confident.

Behind the Scenes look at a Hypnotherapy Practice

What do you think happens in a Hypnotherapy Practice? Voodoo, magic, mind control? Here is a behind the scenes look at a Hypnotherapy Practice. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, my days are full of variety, I support people with stress, anxiety, to overcome fears or additions, to release trauma, ditch bad habits, get a better night sleep, the list is endless.

A typical day starts with the preparation of my room and my appointments. I ensure my room is clean and clear, I set up my diffuser with a calming blend of essential oils, overall I ensure the space that I work in feels comfortable, inviting and safe. Then I meditate. I do this to centre myself, to reconnect and to calm my thinking. It isn’t so much about how I feel during the meditation but more about how I feel during the day, so I can support my clients in the best possible way.

Over the day I will see four clients. Before each client, I run through their notes and read over their bespoke script. If it’s a client’s first time I will run through what Hypnotherapy is and what it isn’t, explaining what it feels like, what to expect and then we get stuck into the first session. If it is a subsequent session we run through a review of their time since we last saw each other and make any amends to my approach. If it their last session with me I ensure the recording software is working because they will receive an MP3 recording so they can continue to benefit from the sessions even though they no longer see me in person.

As with all businesses in between clients I respond to enquiries, post on social media, organise my diary, all the normal admin stuff. So, no voodoo, magic or mind control here Hypnotherapy is a holistic approach to sustainable change.

How is your thinking treating you?

How is your thinking treating you? Your internal dialogue, is it your number one cheerleader? Is it constantly nagging at you and a bit of a drain? Does it take on the voice of someone else and beat you down?

Maybe all of the above. Why? Because that is the nature of head chatter. Sometimes it’s your friend, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it gives you that confidence boost, sometimes it doesn’t and sometimes it channels its inner mean girl.

Do you feel like it’s holding you back?

If the answer is yes, I want you to ask yourself a very important question.

Forget the head chatter and what it has to say for a moment what action would you take?

What feels right, what feels good, what is it you really want?

Now go do it. Yep, just do it.

The head chatter has no influence or power, it has no ability to see into the future it can’t control the outcome of your actions.

The result: you take some action that makes you happy! It doesn’t matter what that action is, it could be to sit on the sofa and watch one more episode your latest Netflix binge, it could be to write the resignation letter, it could be to cancel on plans…

Then you may start to experience some other side effects. Firstly, the more you follow what makes you happy the quieter the head chatter becomes and secondly it will take up less and less head space. But note to self: it will never completely go away no matter what the self-development industry tells you.

How can Hypnotherapy support you to reduce negative thinking and start following your heart?

– Reframing negative stories, you have about yourself or your abilities
– Visualise how you want to feel and behave. Your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between
visualisation and reality so it will help you to actualise what you desire
– Turn the volume down on negative thinking
– Build confidence and trust in yourself and that you are always supported and guided

To work with Ruth to reduce negative head chatter and to what makes you happy call 07399405578 to book your session.

What happened when I tried Self-Hypnosis to improve my sleep?

Sleep has always been an issue for me. Since I was a teenager I have suffered on and off with insomnia. As soon as I felt stressed, frustrated or overwhelmed my sleep is the first thing to get affected. I am in a unique position that as a hypnotherapist I utilised my trade to create a self-hypnosis track to improve my sleep.

Here I am going to give away a few tricks of the trade to explain how I went from someone that would spend hours trying to get to sleep and then have a night of poor quality sleep, to someone who can drop off to a deep sleep pretty easily.

– Progressive muscle relaxation this is the process of relaxing every muscle in the body. This
is so important because it is impossible to go to sleep in a very tense body

– Techniques to switch off my busy mind and deepen a relaxed state. I tend to use very abstract
and repetitive language as my conscious mind quickly switches off

– Suggestions to quiet the mind and focus on breathing

– Positive suggestions to let go of the worries of the day

– Prompts for creating a good sleep routine for good quality sleep

I haven’t suffered from insomnia for years now and when I do find it challenging to get to sleep or if I have a lot on my mind I usually find by just doing the progressive muscle relaxation from the top of my head to the tips of my toes helps me to transition into the land of nod.

To find out how I can support you to improve your sleep through Hypnotherapy contact me today on 07399405578 and get the rest you deserve and need.
